NFL: Week 6 APR vs ESPN

What this is

A comparison
of APR's
Week 6 power rankings with
ESPN's
rankings for the same week of games. This acts as a sanity check
(both ways) to see what teams are over- or underrated.

Only teams that are at least 9 positions apart are listed. The
number in parentheses is the difference between APR's rank and
ESPN's rank.

Teams ESPN likes more than APR:

Saints (+11)

The Saints finally get a solid win in the regular season. APR
moves them up 9 spots, but it's going to take one win over a weak
team before APR will put them near the top 10.

Buccaneers (+10)

APR drops the Buccaneers 17 spots from last week, which may be a
bit harsh. But the teams they beat are a combined 3-13. Yeah,
they're still 3-2, but if they make it to 8 wins this year, it will
be thanks mostly to a very soft schedule.
